Anyone fitted these to their Cerbera V8(Speed 6 owners have their nice dry sump system )?

I was thinking the Accusump could be good for startup and track days (its an accumulator that stores engine oil under pressure, so can pre-lube on startup or counter oil surge from cornering).

I'm not 100% sure, but I also think the Cerbera doesn't have a oil thermostat, which could slow down warmup times.

We're having a Moroso Oil Accumulator fitted in the Phoenix solenoid operated electrically by the ECU at diagnostics phase before main ignition.... its not old good for wetsumps but also drysumps, because it gets pressurized oil in before the crank does its rounds, those first few rounds before the oil pump starts flowing at minium efficiency is the most critical time, engine wear galore, especially if the car has been left alone for a long time, corrosive acids build up on the liners and bearings.... Its a good thing, I'd recommend it, very easy to fit, Autocraft/TVRCraft can fit one in for you for a crackin price if you're interested. www.tvrcraft.com

You could also speak to Think Automotive (Mocal) who import the Accusump, I've had a few from them.
